- Action control is useful
- GPS updates with zero fuss
- Great-quality HD video for a camera in this class
Cons:
- Very limited exposure control
- Image detail falters at mid- to high-ISO levels

Nikon Coolpix AW100 Digital Camera Review
It's been a great year for ruggedized cameras and we see Nikon's AW100 as the capstone. Many of the features and technologies found throughout various companies' many toughcam offerings have been brought together and–not quite perfected–but certainly advanced by the AW100.
Pros:
- Sharp
- impressive lens
- Strong durability features
- GPS that actually works
Cons:
- Some noisy
- artifacted shots
- even at low ISO
